Overview

The VS410RVGAA 4 Port VGA Video Audio Switch with RS232 control lets you switch between four separate VGA signals, as well as the corresponding audio, for output to a single display or projector at resolutions up to 1920x1200 (PC) or 1080p (HDTV).

An ideal solution for situations where VGA and audio input ports are scarce, the VGA switch eliminates the hassle of having to swap out connections to your display and audio receiver, while letting you select the video source quickly and easily at the push of a button.

The VGA switch also features convenient remote switching capabilities through either RS232 serial remote control, or the included IR remote control - allowing you to switch between VGA input signals from a distance and in turn providing a convenient addition to presentation displays, trade shows, security environments and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before You Buy

This device outputs a VGA signal. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.

Note: You might need to use more than one converter as part of your solution; however, you should try to use the least number of converters and cables to connect your source and destination. If you have the option to convert to multiple target video connections, choose the option that requires the fewest number of conversions.

This device has a VGA input port. If you have a video source that uses another video connection, there are options available to convert the video signal or connection. These options will be outlined below for each video source connection.

You also need to know which form of DVI that you are using, because DVI-I supports both analog (VGA) and digital (HDMI) signals, while DVI-D only supports digital (HDMI) signals. Some DVI-I connections only support DVI-D signaling. In this case, you must use a DVI-D to VGA converter.

Troubleshooting

When you troubleshoot issues with a video splitter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:

Video cables

Video switch

Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)

Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)

Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI switch, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.

To test your setup components, try the following:

Use the cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.

Use a different cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.

When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:

Test each cable individually.

Use short cables when you are testing.

When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:

Remove the video switch from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video switch.

Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.

Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, switch, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
